Vantaggi
High pay and benefits to those few who obtain full-time posts Travel pay used to be exceptional. Paid for travel time at full rate. Some dynamic people in back office.
Svantaggi
Angry customer. Demands of corporate for perfection are unsustainable in a busy store. Pharmacy managers are expected to report on dispensing errors regularly. In reality, they victimize the new and part-time pharmacists. Three attributed errors leads to reeducation. Three more "errors" is dismissal. If you stay perfect and the market manager doesn't like you, they have other methods to remove you that involve the police and board of pharmacy. This is a paternalistic org run like a ship. Advice and disagreement are not appreciated by management at any level. Use and abuse of part-time workers by managers.
